Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 665 - : Leaving Cindy Clarke Behind
Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Leaving Cindy Clarke Behind
“I’m good now, I’ll wear this outfit to the family mansion.” Christy Xenos finished dressing, looked in the mirror, and seemed very satisfied with herself.
Wendy Clarke frowned: “Do you have any other clothes?”
“Don’t you like it?” Christy became unhappy, turning left and right in front of the mirror to inspect herself, “I think it looks quite good.”
Wendy wanted to say that her outfit looked like that of a newly rich person.
She then opened the wardrobe, only to be met with silence.
All of Christy’s clothes were of similar style, leaving no other choice.
“Fine, just wear this.” Wendy said helplessly.
Joshua Clarke also picked out a suit to change into.
Christy put on makeup.
The three of them then set off for the family mansion.
Actually, the address of the mansion was not a secret.
If one really wanted to, it could be found.
However, if someone had malicious intentions towards the Elders in Zhekova Family, success would be impossible.
The surroundings of the mansion appeared peaceful, but in reality, Zhekova Family’s bodyguards were secretly protecting it.
These bodyguards were retired secret guards who had come down from the Lanarn Training Ground.
Even though they had reached retirement age at Lanarn Training Ground, they were still under 30 years old and more than enough to protect the mansion.
This was because the requirements at Lanarn Training Ground were very strict.
Even after retiring from the Lanarn, they were still considered elites among elites elsewhere.
If anyone harbored evil intentions towards the mansion, it would be impossible to even get close to it.
As for those who wanted to ingratiate themselves with the Elders, they dared not act rashly and visit them.
Doing so would be extremely impolite, angering the Elders and leaving them without anything to gain.
So, anyone with a little bit of sense would not risk going there, even if they knew the address.
In that case, knowing the address or not made no difference.
As a result, people simply did not bother to find out.
The way Wendy had explained it seemed to make Joshua and Christy feel like they were quite well-mannered.
Having arrived in Belfard, they decided to meet their in-laws right away.
They knew about the exalted status of The Big Eight families but had no concrete understanding of it.
They had no idea that many people in Belfard knew the mansion’s address but dared not go there.
It could only be said that the Clarke Family trio were fearless due to their ignorance.
Upon leaving the hotel, Joshua said, “Shouldn’t we buy some gifts to bring along?”
“After all, it’s our first time visiting our in-laws, we can’t be rude.” Joshua continued.
“What to buy!” The moment Christy heard about spending money on others, even if it was for the Zhekova Family, she became displeased, “The Zhekova Family is so rich, what don’t they have? What haven’t they seen before?”
“I’m afraid the gifts piled up at their home are enough to build a mountain. They can’t even use or eat them all before they expire. No matter what we bring, they won’t care.” Christy scoffed.
“We can’t afford to give anything too expensive or luxurious. Besides, who would give something that expensive just upon meeting them? On the other hand, if we give something too ordinary, they might disregard it.”
“They might even laugh at us behind our backs for giving such poor gifts.” Christy continued with a pout, “The Zhekova Family will never be satisfied with us no matter what we do. So why bother giving them anything at all?”
“Moreover, in the eyes of the Zhekova Family, we are just poor relatives. Since that’s the case, we don’t need to be so particular.” Christy felt this was an apt reasoning.
“And besides, this time we’re going to the Zhekova Family to seek justice. They not only don’t value Cindy, but they don’t even acknowledge us as their in-laws. Furthermore, they failed to comply with even the most basic etiquette when marrying Cindy.” Christy spoke as if she had all the answers.
“Since we are seeking justice, there’s no need to be so polite.” Christy added.
“Wendy, don’t you think so?” Christy asked.
Wendy frowned and said, “We still need to bring something. How would it look if we showed up empty-handed? They already look down on us; if we go empty-handed, we’ll only be furthering their disdain.”
“During our visit, even if we can’t come to an agreement with the Zhekova Family regarding Cindy’s matter, we must let them know that our family isn’t some insignificant household like they think.” Wendy insisted.
Joshua, sitting in the back seat, nodded in agreement: “Right, that way it’s also better for Cindy. Otherwise, if the Zhekova Family thinks we’re being rude, they’ll look down on Cindy as well, and we’ll only be doing her a disservice.”
Christy hadn’t expected Wendy to disagree with her. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Did Wendy still care about Cindy so much?
But even if they cared about her that much, Cindy wouldn’t appreciate their kindness.
Thinking about this, Christy didn’t want to say anything in front of Joshua, so she secretly sent a message to Wendy on Whatsapp.
Some time later, she received a reply from Wendy: “Being polite to the Zhekova Family and leaving them with a good impression doesn’t hurt us in any way.”
“We’re visiting the Zhekova Family this time not for Cindy, but for a smoother development path for us in Belfard.”
“The Zhekova Family elders already dislike Cindy. After careful consideration, I think Adrian Zhekova likely said he didn’t see us as in-laws because the Zhekova Family dislikes Cindy.”
“They feel like Cindy doesn’t deserve to be a part of their family because of their negative impression of her. As a result, they view our family as being low-class as well.”
Christy angrily replied, “Our family is being dragged down by that wretched girl!”
“That wretched girl has never done anything good for the family, but when it comes to causing trouble, she’s done plenty!” Christy vented through her messages.
Christy didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with her own family.
She even thought herself to be quite presentable, able to get along with others easily and expand her social circle.
“That’s why we need to let the Zhekova Family know that we aren’t like Cindy. They may have a bad impression of Cindy, but that shouldn’t extend to how they think of us. If they refuse to help us because of Cindy, that would be a loss.”
“So we need to leave a good impression on the Zhekova elders, showing them that we are a family that understands etiquette. If there is any fault, it’s only with Cindy.”
“Even if we ultimately can’t agree on the matter of Cindy’s marriage, we can still have separate dealings with the Zhekovas, aside from Cindy.”
“As long as we establish a good relationship with the Zhekova Family, what’s there to worry about for our development in Belfard?” Wendy replied, “By then, we don’t need to be concerned about Cindy’s fate. Even if Adrian dumps her, our foundation in Belfard will already be laid, and we won’t need her at all.”
Christy suddenly saw the light, becoming much more willing to spend money on gifts.
If they could establish a good relationship with the Zhekova Family, such a small amount of money would be of no concern!
Moreover, they could distance themselves from Cindy.
Imagine how tormented she would be, watching them continue having a close relationship with the Zhekova Family while she continues to be neglected.
She would be infuriated, annoyed, and suffocated!
Just thinking about how Cindy would keep an eye on their good fortune while her hard work amounted to nothing, Christy felt incredibly satisfied.
